About Errin Smith: Errin Smith, also known as "That Health Chick" on Instagram is an avid health and fitness fanatic who is expert trained in health optimization for over 15 years, and has worked with world leading health experts such as Dr. Zach Bush MD, Dr. Christine Schaffner, Dr. Dan Pompa, Mark Groves and a list of high level celebrity health experts. She is also the founder, producer, and host of What We Crave: The Emotional Eating Summit. After 25 years of struggling with emotional eating, food addiction, and "shame fasting", Errin became obsessed with understanding the root cause of what it is that we are REALLY craving. She is on fire for cultivating real, beautiful, honest conversations that provide roadmaps to healing and how to make peace with food and ultimately yourself. What We Discuss In This Episode: Errin shares her upbringing with processed foods and dieting attempts, leading to emotional eating and weight gain. She hit rock bottom working excessively while numbing with keto foods, appearing "nine months pregnant." This inspired starting "What We Crave" to understand the root causes. She realized it was never about the food: The root causes behind cravings, emotional eating, food addiction, and binge eating. We have to honestly confront what we're REALLY craving. When we get triggered, most of us point the finger at someone else. Errin shares how her abusive boss triggered overworking without boundaries, and her need for soothing with food. We should prioritize nourishment over dieting by consuming grass-fed proteins, superfoods, electrolytes and ashwagandha drops cortisol and inflammation naturally. Emotional eating stems from living problems like disconnection, not dietary issues.
